The sun is not so warm on a winter afternoon, but the light is thick enough.

Sprinkled in through the window behind him, the figures of the two people under the window were reflected on the floor tiles.

In the light and shadow, people leaned on, maybe the sunlight was too dim, and maybe the shadow was too oblique, Lin Yunyan looked down, and she saw a feeling of a long time.

As if she and Xu Jian were not so young, they had really gone through a long time, to the twilight years, to the sunset of life.

This feeling came suddenly, and it didn't dissipate for a while, accumulating in the chest, so that the whole heart beat slowly.

Yes.

I'm old, slowly.

Lin Yunyan thought, even if it was dizzy and not real on this day, she really liked it.

For her, reborn in a lifetime, doesn't what she wants is to be able to go to the twilight years and feel the twilight years with Xu Jian by her side?

The long eyelashes trembled, and the emotions in his chest rolled and inevitably swelled.

For a moment, Lin Yunyan wanted to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes.

The tear glands seemed to be frozen by the cold winter, even in the warm side hall, they could not be dissolved, so that those bloated emotions could not be vented.

The fingers pressed on the cushion curled up, and the fingertips used some force to support the body, and Lin Yunyan raised her head from Xu Jian's arms.

In her sight, she saw Xu Jian's neck, and there was a small red mark on the protruding Adam's apple.

It was made by her last night, very shallow, so shallow that if she hadn't come so close, it would have been impossible to find out, and before the two of them went out, Lin Yunyan also covered Xu Jian with powder.

Maybe it's been a long time, and I've gone back and forth to the imperial study, going in and out of the outdoor and indoor hot and cold, so that I have taken off some color, and I can see it by her, the initiator who knows it, by looking closely.

Further up is Xu Jian's jawline, which was cleaned up early in the morning, and even the green scum is not obvious at this time.

Lin Yunyan didn't think about it, raised her head higher, leaned over and touched it.

It's so shallow, it's not enough to vent your emotions, but it's better to tear up some stable openings and have a place to go than to burst the embankment.

Xu Jian's hand on her back tightened, and he grabbed her waist and lifted it up, making her sit on his lap.

Lin Yunyan thought that it was her left leg, so she didn't say much to Xu Jian.

Speaking of which, she has indeed been used to leaning on Xu Jian's left side.

Even if in the past, Xu Jian ended up with both legs broken, but she subconsciously avoided Xu Jian's right leg more, and this habit was naturally formed, and it has continued to this day.

No one spoke, and the kisses ranged from shallow to long, delicate and gentle.

Lin Yunyan's whole person was relaxed, and those swollen emotions slowly dissipated in such a gentle comfort.

It did not become a torrent that broke through the embankment, but a babbling stream that slowly spreads away, moisturizing things silently.

When they parted, their breath was not short, Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand and gestured in the shadow of the slanting sun, it didn't mean much, and she was quite happy as if she was playing with a child.

After playing for a while, she got up and went to the dresser.

Although I haven't lived in it for a while, I still have a lot of things for daily use.

Lin Yunyan took the box of powder, returned to Xu Jian's side, and raised her chin at him, revealing her slender neck.

Xu Jian's gaze fell on her fair skin, and when she saw that her fingers were already stained with some powder, she understood and raised her head.

Lin Yunyan stood in front of Xu Jian, getting very close, and with the sunlight that had not yet had time to dissipate, her fingertips pressed the red mark on his Adam's apple.

The seal is really small, the fingertips are not covered at all, and it is extremely shallow, even if others stand and talk to Xu Jian, they may not be able to see it.

Under the abdomen of the fingers, the Adam's apple slid upward, and returned to its original place, Lin Yunyan thought that it was enough, so she withdrew her hand and put everything away.

The two of them didn't rest for long in the side hall, but the days were short in winter, and the twilight was getting thicker and thicker unconsciously.

"Returned?" Xu Jian asked.

Lin Yunyan bowed.

She didn't ask Xu Jian what she said to the saint in the imperial study.

The palace is not a good place to talk, even if it is Cining Palace, it is a side hall without outsiders, and the two of them will not mention anything related to Li Shao here.

The two of them came out one after the other and walked to the main hall.

When the father-in-law saw them coming, he smiled and said, "Niangniang has been up for a while."

Lin Yunyan walked in and saw that the Queen Mother was talking to Mama Wang, so she said, "You have a short rest, why don't you let someone call me?"

"You little two talk about yours, and the mourning family will not be called." The Queen Mother snorted.

Lin Yunyan still sat down next to her, smiling: "That did say a lot of things, I told him about the time when I used to live in the palace, there were many things in the side hall, the same, I haven't finished talking yet."

In front of the Queen Mother, Xu Jian rarely showed a little shyness.

The Queen Mother casually continued, "What is it?"

"Your reward, the holy reward, the ...... left over from when my mother lived in the palace," Lin Yunyan said, "I have to tell him more about what I painted and played in the side hall before."

The Empress Dowager laughed: "Yes, Xu Jian came to Cining Palace a few times ago, you are either in the main hall or in the back garden, and you have never entered the side hall."

Father-in-law Xiao stood aside, heard this, and raised his eyes to look at Mama Wang.

The county lord's words are not wrong, it should not mean something, looking at the reaction of the queen mother, she didn't go out to the side to think, it was just like the two relatives and grandchildren chatting about each other.

Even these words can't leave the gate of this temple, otherwise they will fall into the ears of those who have a heart, and it will be like stirring up trouble.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The county lord is here to talk about the old things, a few months ago the East Palace was not properly stored, and the relics of the former queen were damaged a lot, even if I heard that the prince had repaired it himself, but in the end, it was broken......

Mama Wang also understood in her heart what she meant to be less than her father-in-law, and she also thought that the county lord had no extra thoughts.

It's just that the twists and turns in the middle are not something they can talk about casually.

Keep your mouth shut and don't let the word get out.

The queen mother is used to Lin Yunyan's chatter, even if she has talked to Lin Yunyan openly and secretly for the prince, she doesn't think that Lin Yunyan deliberately makes trouble.

After all, the young couple who only got married yesterday, although they had some contacts before marriage, after all, they were also familiar with each other at the stage of running-in, and all they could say about getting along was just these topics.

Tell the story of old things, how normal the way to get along.

It's just that there is not much room for "unintentional" in this palace.

After listening to Lin Yunyan for a while, the Queen Mother said, "It's not too early, you go pick up some tea and bring it back, and the mourning family will explain a few words to Xu Jian."

Lin Yunyan responded.

As soon as she left, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Xu Jian.

"Yun Yan can be regarded as growing up in the palace, she should have the sensitivity and caution, she has always had it, of course, there will be occasional squeamishness." The Queen Mother smiled as she spoke.

is not squeamish, how can he say that Li Shao "duck calls" when he opens his mouth.

"You mention her more," the queen mother added, "If you really have anything, discuss it with the mourning family, what kind of tribute tea and tribute wine you like, the mourning family is not nothing."

Xu Jian smiled.

The meaning of the Queen Mother's words is also very clear.

She didn't agree with the handling of the "Guyue Tribute Wine" last time, and she also knew that Lin Yunyan's behavior of begging for wine at that time was Xu Jian's idea behind her back, and Lin Yunyan's squeamishness was actually taught by Xu Jian.

In this case, instead of telling Lin Yunyan to be obedient, it is better to go directly to Xu Jian and say.

Xu Jian knew that this was the care and love of the Queen Mother.

Without the protection of the Queen Mother, where can the two of them be pretending to be powerful?

For more than a year, the progress that can be harvested from the harem all depends on the queen mother's preference for the little princess.

The Queen Mother's request for them also

It's simple, loving, harmonious, smooth, that's all.

It is precisely because of this that although the Queen Mother helped protect her again and again, she couldn't understand why they wanted to fight against Li Shao.

There are deliberate ones like tribute wine, and there are also those like tiger bones, which are kind in the eyes of the queen mother but Li Shao doesn't appreciate them, and there are even more common words that the little county lord just said that it would be provocative for anyone else.

However, Xu Jian knew that Lin Yunyan was not stirring up trouble just now.

It was true that the two of them didn't say anything in the side hall, and hugged and kissed quietly for a while, but this kind of intimacy is not suitable for telling the queen mother the truth, and the little county lord is really thick-skinned in these, so he simply made up a reason.

There was no intention of going to Li Shao.

But in the final analysis, it is impossible for the two of them to completely spread the contradiction with Li Shao in front of the queen mother.

No one is them, they have not experienced the years when Li Shao was in power alone, and they have not been cornered.

"With your pet, naturally there is no shortage of good things, I am stained with the light of the county lord." Xu Jiandao.

The Queen Mother was still smiling and didn't say anything more.

After Lin Yunyan picked out the tea to take away, the two said goodbye to the queen mother together, and the father-in-law sent them out, leaving only the queen mother and Mama Wang in the palace.

Mama Wang observed the words and looked at the expression, and served tea to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother took a sip, the tea was slightly bitter in the mouth, and the aftertaste was sweet.

She liked the taste very much, and stroked the tea cup with her fingertips, and smiled again for a long time.

How could she not understand Xu Jian's words?

Xu Jian's words, the premise of everything is "you are spoiled".

And she, sooner or later, will be gone.

This is exactly what the Queen Mother was worried about, and she spoke to Lin Yunyan several times, and what she said was actually what she meant, so when Xu Jian mentioned this, it was difficult for the Queen Mother not to think about it.

Her worries came from her age, her perception of her old age.

Yun Yan or Xu Jian, the two young people, how could they be more worried than her?

is not only worried that she will leave early, but also has no confidence in the prince's future, it seems that whether the two of them take the initiative to fight the prince will not be good......

It's too much to think about.

The Queen Mother pursed her lips.

It doesn't seem right to say this, Li Shao's temperament in the past two years will indeed make people lose patience.

But among the people who are anxious to make trouble, Xu Jian should not be included.

Xu Jian was not that necessary, and it was categorically inappropriate, and besides, Xu Jian should not have shown the slightest tendency to be unfavorable to the prince in front of the emperor.

With the saint's preference for Li Shao, whenever Xu Jian has a little hint, the saint will not have such a valued and supportive attitude towards him.

So, was she guessing and thinking wrong, or was Xu Jian completely hidden in front of the emperor?

The Queen Mother didn't dare to make a complete judgment for a while.

Gotta take another look.

Look at Shengshang, look at Li Shao.

On the other hand, when Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan returned to the Fuguo Mansion, it was already dark.

The house lit the lamp, the joyful red silk and red lights were not removed, and the two went back to the room for dinner, and then sent people to say that Xu Jian went to the imperial study.

"I have to give him something to do," Xu Jian said, "I see him like that, and he probably can't be idle."

Lin Yunyan said, "There is still almost a month left before the seal. He can't be idle anymore, no one pushes him, and I'm afraid there won't be much storm."

Xu Jian said: "The two chamberlains who followed the prince to the imperial study today are Gonggong Guo and the other surnamed Feng."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Lin Yunyan understood.

Gonggong Guo personally ordered it by Gonggong Cao, and Li Shao had to serve him, but he also knew that this was the manpower arranged by the Holy Lord to watch him.

In addition, those who can win Li Shao's favor must have "outstanding features".

That Feng Neishou thought to be the one who taught Li Shao how to "turn evil into good" and let the saint dissipate his anger

, at the same time, it should also be the person behind the scenes.

Whether there is a big storm or not, it depends on how Feng Neishou instigates it.

After the matter was finished, Lin Yunyan called Bang Yue to come in and freshen up her face.

Everything that should be packed was packed, and Bang Yue withdrew, and saw Mama Ma laying out the futon in the second room.

"Mama," Bang Yue stepped forward and said in a suppressed voice, "I'll be on duty tonight."

Mama Ma looked at her, "Okay?"

Bang Yue's face turned red, and her face turned a little redder when she thought of the red marks she saw when the county lord got up during the day.

"My job," Bang Yue pursed her lips, "I can't always work hard Mama."

When Mama Ma heard her say this, she also responded, and whispered a few more words.

"Mrs. Geng is in the kitchen, I want water in the house, you let Mrs. Geng bring it in, don't be reckless, if you spill the water in the middle of the night, it will be troublesome."

"I also prepared the soup of the county lord, and you can serve it to her when the time comes."

"Be smart, don't fall asleep in a daze."

Bang Yue listened carefully and couldn't help nodding.

The night was getting deeper.

The lamp was blown out in the bedroom, and Bang Yue quickly blew the lamp in the second room.

She has followed the county lord for so many years, and she is used to being on duty at night, but now it is different from the past, which makes her uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I slept soundly in the second half of the night, and I was not sleepy when I woke up in the morning.

Because she had to go back to the door, Lin Yunyan couldn't sleep until she woke up naturally like yesterday.

The return gift had already been prepared, and a carriage full of horses was piled up.

Leaving the Gongfu and going all the way to the Chengyi Mansion, Lin Yunyan stepped on the pedals and got out of the car, and saw her family waiting for them at the door.

Chen smiled and shook her hand, "The old lady is looking forward to it in the house."

Lin Yunyan answered, and saw Lin Yunfang, who was leaning on Lin Yunjing, squeezing her eyebrows at her, so naughty.

The group entered Zaijuin.

Xiao Duan sat upright, his hair combed shiny, and he was in good spirits, looking at Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian who walked in.

The granddaughter has seen a lot, and she is good-looking, and this grandson-in-law ......

is full of capital, in terms of background, appearance, and ability, the most outstanding among the young generation is this one.

And this is the uncle of their sincere uncle!

Xiao Duan looked up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
